Hey all. I hope everyone who just went through a holiday season survived it with their sanity and admiration for humanity pretty much intact. I was surrounded by friends and family, and only had to criss cross Kentucky abour four times, so it was relatively low stress on this end of the computer machine.

We were happy to host Gavin and Kelly for a night on their way East from Davis. While Gavin was in residence, he posted my story Sally Harpe online at the Small Beer Press site. The story was originally published in Realms of Fantasy, and was recently reprinted in my new chapbook, Bittersweet Creek.

If you can identify the ballet the plot of the story is (pretty transparently, I think) "borrowed" from, post in the comments. First person to do so (first person that I know I've not told this already, I mean) wins a two issue subscription to the magazine I edit, Say...

Have a safe and happy New Year.
